ALBERT Well, here he is what's called a potentate. He won't care to come down and live over Crilly's shop.
MRS. CRILLY
And where else would he live in the name of God?
ALBERT
He won't want to live with our crowd.
MRS. CRILLY What crowd? The boys can be sent to school, you'll be on your situation, and Anna will be away. (She seats herself in the armchair) I don't know what Albert means when he says that the Master would not be content to live with us. It was always settled that he would come to us when his service was over.
Albert, who has been going over the books, has met something that surprises him. He draws Crilly to the desk. The two go over the papers, puzzled and excited. Anna Crilly enters from corridor. She is a handsome girl of about nineteen or twenty, with a rich complexion dark hair and eyes. She is well dressed, and wears a cap of dark fur. She stands at the stove, behind her mother, holding her hands over the stove. Mrs. Crilly watches the pair at the desk.
MRS. CRILLY We can't think of allowing a pension of fifty pounds a year to go out of our house. Where will we get money to send the boys to school?
ANNA
Mother. Grandfather is going to live away from us.
MRS. CRILLY
Why do you repeat what Albert says?
ANNA
I didn't hear Albert say anything.
MRS. CRILLY
Then, what are you talking about?
